A/N: I was supposed to update yesterday but I ended up stuck with my little cousins -_-
I don't own Fairy Tail! I asked for it for Christmas but i didnt get it... :( Gomen for any spelling errors
Happy has been traveling for several hours now. "I'm tired…" his stomach started to grumble, "and hungry!" Suddenly, his wings vanished and he fell. 'Looks like I'm traveling the rest by foot.' He dusted his self-off and continued walking. Happy saw lights and buildings in the distance, "Hey! I see a town!" The exceed started sprinting until he reached the town of Hargeon, "Hey this is where Natsu and I met Lucy for the first time…." He sadly sighed and shook his head. "There was a restaurant that Lucy took us to when we met…." He walked around a bit before he found it. He was about to walk in when, "Wait, I don't have any money," Happy groaned. He walked by the window and saw people eating. His mouth started watering and he moved closer to the window. The person eating saw him and promptly closed the windows.
Happy looked down and sighed for the mphtine time that day. "Maybe I can find left over fish in the dumpster," he started to walk in dark alley. And bam! He saw a half-eaten fish! 'FISH!' He ran up to the fish but before he could take it, a stray cat came up, hissed at Happy, and ran away with the fish in his mouth. "Jerk!" Happy pouted and walked out of the alley, only to be confronted with a silhouette of a… old lady?
"There you are, Pinocchio, you made grandma start to worry," the lady picked up Happy. She looked like a thousand year old with really bad eye sight. 'That explains why she just called me Pinocchio…' Happy thought as he was carried away into the darkness…
"HAPPY!" Lucy shouted. She was worried sick about Happy. She looked for him in a tree, the lake again, and several dark alleys. It was already 12:00 at night and she didn't even find a sign of him. She walked past another alley when she noticed a tail sticking out of a dumpster. It was white and looked exactly like Happy's. "HAPPY!" Lucy ran towards the dumpster and dove head first in. the cat that she saw was not Happy, it was just a random strays. "Ughh! Now I'm covered in trash!" Lucy was getting out of the dumpster when she accidentally grabbed the tail of the cat. The cat hissed at her and attacked her. "AHHHH!"
Natsu's luck wasn't any better. He's looked in strangers houses, and all their favorite restaurants. He was strutting gloomily around when he looked up to the moon. "Happy, where are you?" He then noticed a chimney he never saw before. 'Maybe Happy went into that chimney?' He jumped up and climbed his way up to the chimney. When he got there, there was nothing in the chimney; just pitch black smoke. He grunted in annoyance and went down, ignoring the stares from random towns' people. By now it was already 1 in the morning and he was getting worn out. "I should go back to Luce's…" He turned back and left the way he came; depressed.
About fifteen minutes later, Lucy finally got that cat off of her and was outside her apartment. She opened the door to see Natsu sitting on her bed, playing with his fingers. "Any luck finding Happy?" Lucy asked.
He shook his head, "No I looked everywhere on the east side, but he wasn't there." He looked up and his eyes bulged out of his head. Lucy had cat scratches all over her! She was covered in trash and her nose was bleeding. "What the hell happened to you?"
"I thought I saw Happy in a dumpster and dove straight in. It turned out to be a stray and while I was getting out, I accidently grabbed its tail and it attacked me…"
Natsu had a concerned face on, "Are you ok? Do you need Wendy to heal you up?"
"Natsu, why are you worrying? I'll be fine." Lucy walked towards the bathroom, "I just need to take a shower and bandage myself up." She went inside the bathroom, leaving Natsu alone. "Don't worry little buddy," Natsu said, "Luce and I will find you!" GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE. Natsu looked down at his stomach, then grinned. "Looks like I'm hungry." He got up and headed straight to Lucy's frig. Natsu grabbed all the content out of the frig, and gobbled down.
About 10 minutes later, Lucy came out dressed in her P.J's. "Natsu, can you help me with my wounds?" she called out. She went to her closet and pulled out a first aid kit. Natsu was seen coming out of the kitchen with an extended belly. Lucy grabbed the bandages and Natsu helped put them on her.
They sat in silence until, "Hey Luce, do you think we'll find Happy?" Lucy was a little shocked by the question, "Natsu, where Fairy Tail wizards, we don't give up that easily. We'll find him. I promise you."
Natsu smiled and nodded his head. More time passed and they were finally done. "So," Lucy started, "Are you gonna sleep on the floor or bed?"
"We are going to sleep on your bed. It's so comfy."
Lucy raised an eyebrow at him, "We?"
"Well yeah you weirdo." Natsu hopped into bed and waited for Lucy to come in. Lucy sighed with the faintest of blushes on her cheek and hopped in. Natsu immediately wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Night Natsu."
"Night Luce…. And Happy… where ever you are."
Hargeon
"So Pinocchio, have you always been able to talk?" the old lady asked. They were inside the old ladies house. Happy was (of course) munching on a fish on the couch.
"Aye!"
"How is it that you can talk?"
Happy thought for a moment, "Because I'm a cat."
She nodded her head slowly. "Well I'm going to go get my dinner. Stay here and be a good boy, Pinocchio." The lady disappeared as she went into the kitchen.
"It's Happy," Happy muttered. He jumped of the couch and went up to a table with a bunch of mail. He grabbed one and looked at the name it was a dressed to: Anastasia. 'What a weird name….I think I heard that name somewhere….." He thought a little more but shrugged. "Guess I haven't heard of it."
"Oh dear! It's past your bed time!" Anastasia ran (well… more like slowly walked) to Happy and picked him up. She carried him into a room that looked like it belonged to a little kid. The wall was blue and it had pictures of rattles, bottles, and building blocks. 'does this lady think I'm a baby?'
Anastasia placed Happy in the cradle bed thing. "Good night Pinocchio," she said, placing a kiss on his cheek. She closed the light and exited the room. 'I guess I could get used to this…. Good night Magnolia… Natsu and Lucy…' As Happy drifted off to sleep, the last thing he mumbled was "Night Natsu….."
